A tension member is wrapped about the pulley and has a tensile force acting on the pulley. At least one link arm is rotatably mounted within the housing. The at least one link arm is operably coupled to the pulley to selectively oppose the tensile force acting on the pulley.

Kitchen fire suppression aiming systems and methods

A cartridge monitoring assembly for detecting a weight of a cartridge, a fire suppression system for incorporating the same, and a method of detecting a weight of a cartridge installed within a fire suppression system are provided. The cartridge monitoring assembly includes a support bracket for securing a cartridge containing a pressurized gas to the cartridge monitoring assembly, and at least one weight sensor for detecting the weight of the cartridge. The cartridge monitoring assembly enables the comparison of the weight of a cartridge installed within the fire suppression system with a previously calculated full weight value to determine a weight variance of the cartridge installed within the fire suppression system.
